International Education Fairs of Turkey
With about 30,000 Turkish students going abroad annually to study, and with increasingly limited study space in domestic institutions, Turkey is a market that cannot be overlooked. The IEFT student recruitment fairs have proven to be the venue where prospective students and their families come to gather the valuable information required to make solid decisions. IEFT holds two major recruitment fairs per calendar year: April and October. IEFT circuits take place when they do to capture the long- and short-term planners and to allow enough lead time for the application and visa process.
